How To Use
For the vehicles, install the three scanner tech modules like normal. For the mech, the mod works by making the vehicle's two scanner upgrade modules - 'Advanced Signal Booster' & 'Exocraft Signal Booster Upgrade Tau' - available to the mech... To get the full list of scanner targets you'll need to install the vehicle's upgrades along with the mech's scanner.
Install
Unzip the mod and place the full folder into {NMS Install Folder}\GAMEDATA\MODS (not PCBANKS). Create MODS folder if necessary.
If the mod(s) still doesn't work, delete the mod settings file {NMS Install Folder}\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS. MXML and try again.
